real madrid pretty much always gets an easy opponent

You know, there was a myth about Real Madrid in the 50's and 60's because of that.

Back then there was one guy from the Real Madrid who was also a EUFA executive that took part on the draws,and they say that he arranged it so that his team always played against the easier ones.

Given that the balls are impossible to differentiate, what they say is that he put 2 balls on a fridge for a couple of hours before the draw. Then, when it was the time to put the papers with the teams on the balls, he put the names of Madrid and the team he wanted one each of those cold balls and during the draw, he only had to find the colder balls to, oh surprise, ending with the Real Madrid facing the weaker oponent.

But of course that's what the fans of Barça said.

Interesting theory though.

Well something has to be rigged.. 3 teams from spain and none are playing against each other like the 2 german teams... in the Europe league the same: 3 English team and magicly they didn't draw each other..

First 3 pairs are obvious - Borussia, Real, Barca. In the fourth Juve will get past Bayern. Bayern played so bad with Arsenal, it was painful to watch them play. Juve should be better and after all, they are Italian. Italians always win with the Germans.

I hope Barca wins it all, though Real will be a tough one for them. They seem to have their number this season.

1st and 2nd seated of the best league in the world are easy opponents? xD

 

-- My picks are Malaga, Madrid, and Juventus, PSG Vs Barça seems the easiest to predict but i'm not that sure PSG has never lost against spanish teams in 2 match elimination (G 5-A 5-L 0) and Barça is not good aganinst french teams, gonna be very interesting matches, more than a lot of people think.

So Galatasaray is out of the Champions League. Finally and well deserved . They got raped in Madrid.
Malaga is a decent team. 0:0 is okay, but not outstanding. Will be quite a match next week.
